2007 Infiniti M35x review from North America
"Don't be seduced by the performance, Nissan doesn't stand behind its product"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My M35 Bluetooth would not synch with an AT&T 8525. At first Nissan refused to fix it even though it froze my entire console. They said it wasn't on their list of phones. But Bluetooth is a trademark, a company can ONLY use if its devices are interoperable with other tested devices. Failure to do this is a violation of the trademark agreement. Finally Nissan relented and after FOUR tries finally fixed the problem.
More recently the A/C condenser was struck by a stone. The car was under warranty, but they refused to cover this. Damage by stone chips is one of their exclusions. Understandable for paint damage, but if you design a grille only for air flow and not to protect the radiator and condenser, that is a design defect. Could it have been deliberate? A way to make sure they make money on replacement condensers and radiators?
And their voice recognition, for simple telephone numbers may be the worst in the world.
General comments?
So, on the face of it, the M35 may look like a nice car and be fun to drive, but God forbid you have to deal with Nissan for warranty repairs. Of the Japanese car manufacturers, they are no doubt, the worst to deal with. Buy at your own risk!
